For Immediate Release: Wednesday, June 26, 2024

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will hold an in-person public meeting to discuss the Shady Grove Road Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety Improvement Feasibility Study on Tuesday, July 9 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the Nancy H. Dacek North Potomac Community Recreation Center Social Hall located at 13850 Travilah Road in Rockville.

Areas along this corridor have been identified in the Montgomery County Vision Zero plan as dangerous with multiple collisions involving vehicles and pedestrians. Vision Zero aims to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries by 2030. Two stretches of this corridor: Metro Access Road to Midcounty Highway and Rockville Pike/MD 355 to I-270 are identified in the County’s Vision Zero High Injury Network. The study will review existing conditions, such as traffic volumes, crash data, and review planned improvements to address pedestrian and cyclist safety. Cost estimates will also be prepared.

Prior to the meeting, the public is encouraged to review the project information available online here. More background and visuals regarding the project scope can be found online here. Public feedback and any information provided will become a matter of public record.
